giemme Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Looking great, Joss Is it a bit of overspray I see near starboard wing tip? Maybe it's just a lighting thing, though Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just caught up with this. Cracking work, and I will definitely be pinching your base building tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks hockeyboy, I think the only thing I could recommend is, to make sure the plaster is completely dry as otherwise it pulls off and cracks! I'm slowly getting there but I need to get my finger out to get this one finished! Had abit of an accident in that I forgot to seal the decals and I masked over the main roundel on port side. The decal decided to leave with the tape Having no spare roundels I proceeded to mask my own. And managed to rip of the yellow patch thing... (Btw what is that for? ) I think it turned out ok for a first attempt the reds not quite round which is bugging me but eh... All that is left to do is a gloss coat for the weathering and panel lining, followed by the adding of the spinner and landing gear. I have two pilots to paint then fingers crossed done. As always any comments welcome More to follow Joss 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Painted roundels look better anyway, and this is no exception - well done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Nice save with the roundel Joss To answer your question, I believe that the 'yellow patch thing' is to detect the presence of poison gas (I think it changes colour?). Others will be more expert than me though! Cliff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others will be more expert than me though! Cliff I am an expert on all things Spitfire, so yes, the 'Yellow Patch' thing is indeed reactive paint which turns black when exposed to a gas attack. Thanks to Google for the info. I'm not really an expert at all. Nice job on the Spit btw. Rearguards, Badder 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carius Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 , nice information about the yellow patch and great job on the roundels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Actually that roundel looks far better than a decal! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thanks guys, and that bit of information is good to know! I am making progress I have one of the pilots left to paint and just adding the odds and ends to the spit. So fingers crossed as long as real life doesn't get in the way i should be done by the deadline! I'll post a few pics once I've taken them!
